5/31: Ubaldo Jimenez vs Tim Lincecum

[realmofotalk]

Pitching duel of the year. Pity the hitters in this game. To think the Rockies could've had both. But at least Greg Reynolds is also an ace, right? Right?

Early prediction- it ends up far from a pitching duel

Funny, I was headed here to post this same thread. Can't wait for this one, get your popcorn ready.

Ugh, don't remind me about Lincecum. Could've had Longoria or Kershaw as well. But hey, at least Reynolds is about to start "rehab assignment soon".

3-0 COL last I saw

This was supposed to be a good pitching matchup. Ubaldo threw a complete game shutout and lowered his ERA to 0.78. Take a look at Ubaldo's game log: it is sick nasty. Meanwhile, Lincecum failed to make it out of the 6th inning, allowed 5 base on balls for the 4th straight outing, and now has a very un-Lincecum-like 3.14 ERA. Would it surprise anyone if it were announced in the next few days that Lincecum would be placed on the disabled list?

No way the man they call The Freak goes on the disabled list.

Ubaldo was beasting it the entire game. Ran into a little trouble in the 9th, but overall it was an outstanding performance by him.
